Jungnang-gu Installs Hand Sanitizers at 200 Bus Stops and 5 Taxi Stands

Regular Inspections and Replenishment of Hand Sanitizers Upon Depletion... Efforts to Prevent the Spread of Local Cluster Infections

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) installed approximately 240 fixed hand sanitizers at 200 bus stops and 5 taxi stands on the 9th to prevent COVID-19 infection among residents using public transportation such as buses and taxis.

The installation locations were selected and designated mainly at stops with a daily boarding number of over 1,000. For stops with over 2,000 daily boardings, two or more hand sanitizers were installed to ensure convenience for all passengers.

Local community centers regularly patrol and inspect these stops and replenish hand sanitizers when they run out.

Earlier, on the 7th, Jungnang-gu was the first among Seoul's 25 autonomous districts to distribute a total of 5,708 hand sanitizers and masks to village bus, corporate, and individual taxi workers to prevent COVID-19 infection.

Additionally, private organizations such as the Saemaeul Leaders Association and Jungnang-gu are jointly conducting focused disinfection in places frequently visited by residents, such as parks and market alleys. Currently, a total of 100 teams with 401 members are active as COVID-19 prevention teams.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “The current COVID-19 situation is at a critical crossroads on whether it will spread as a local cluster infection. We will spare no administrative or financial support to prevent residents from being infected with COVID-19, and we will implement any measures if it can prevent even 1% of resident infections.”
